Description
For maximum protection against a high-grade military threat, our C2 body armor is the best option the market can provide: This Armored Republic Level IV rated plate is tested to the NIJ’s proposed 0101.07 standard as an RF3 plate, which is the highest protection listed. This protection rating means the plate can stop a .30 caliber Armor Piercing bullet, with a mass of 10.8g, at speeds of up to 2,880 ft/s. The U.S. Military designation for this is an M2 AP.
In addition to the higher protection level, this ceramic C2 plate has several other advantages: Its shape and backface deformation resistance, patented ergonomic cut, and proprietary FragLock™ coating.
As noted in our Body Armor 101 page, ceramic plates prevail over polyethylene (PE) plates in thickness and backface deformation resistance. While PE requires a high volume to capture incoming bullets, ceramic dissipates the bullet’s impact across its front, a method that allows for a thinner plate. It also allows for less backface deformation and thus helps prevent the injuries caused by the bullet’s blunt impact. It is also a bit lighter than some steel options.
Finally, the C2 plate is also sprayed with a FragLock™ coating unique to Armored Republic plates. Armor is often liable to both eroding from the elements and fragmentation when hit by a bullet. FragLock™ helps solve both these problems, protecting the plate from the elements as well as protecting you from fragmentation by directing those fragments away from your body.
For when you need maximum protection with as few drawbacks as possible, the features of the C2 armor helps get you exactly that.
